Gene: PIGW
Official Full Name: phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Wprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an inositol acyltransferase that acylates the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol. This occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and is a step in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), which anchors many cell surface proteins to the membrane. Defects in this gene are a cause of the age-dependent epileptic encephalopathy West syndrome as well as a syndrome exhibiting hyperphosphatasia and cognitive disability (HPMRS5).

PIGW Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular systems tailored for the investigation of the PIGW gene's function and its implications in various biological and pathological processes. These cell lines have undergone targeted gene editing, utilizing advanced CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create precise knockout models that lack the expression of the PIGW protein. This allows researchers to explore the biological pathways influenced by PIGW and to assess its roles in glycosylation processes that are critical for protein and lipids modification.
The primary function of PIGW gene knockout cell lines is to facilitate a detailed understanding of the gene's involvement in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis, which is crucial for anchoring proteins to the cell membrane. By studying these knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the downstream effects of PIGW deficiency, allowing them to identify potential molecular targets for therapeutic intervention in diseases associated with abnormal glycosylation, such as various cancers and genetic disorders.
The scientific importance of PIGW gene knockout cell lines is underscored by their applications in both basic research and clinical settings. They serve as invaluable tools for drug discovery, biomarker identification, and the development of cell-based assays for high-throughput screening. Moreover, they can be instrumental in translational studies aimed at understanding the nuances of glycosylation-related diseases, thereby bridging the gap between laboratory research and clinical applications.
One of the key advantages of our PIGW gene knockout cell lines is their robustness and reliability compared to other models. Traditional methods for gene disruption often result in off-target effects or incomplete knockouts. In contrast, our CRISPR/Cas9 derived lines ensure high specificity and reproducibility, enabling researchers to draw more conclusive insights from their experiments. Furthermore, the ease of use in experimental setups makes these cell lines accessible to both novice and experienced researchers alike.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies looking to delve into the complex roles of glycosylation, the PIGW gene knockout cell lines offer a significant advantage in dissecting gene function and pathogenesis. Their capacity to mimic disease states makes them a critical asset for advancing therapeutic research.
